Nep the Giant is destroying Little Bay Village- Meg and Russ are sent on a desperate mission to find Foggy. But on their frantic journey what they hear about Foggy gives them the impression that Foggy is more trouble than he is worth. Will Mr T, Old Mac and his flying pig and the Gallopers, dampen Megs spirits? And will Grumpy and the black Knight make Foggy feel like a failure?
Allan Baillie has produced an amazing fantasy for younger readers. Lets just hope that Foggy is the wizard Meg and Russ are looking for, and that he can right the wrong he caused!
Foggy is the story of a village that is under attack from a giant. When two kids are sent to find a wizard called Foggy, mythical things are created. Along the way the kids meet people who have met Foggy and are seeking his help just like the kids from the village. The people that they meet dont seem happy with Foggy. Read the book to find out why!
I recommend this book to students 8 to 13 years old who like fantasy books. I enjoyed reading the story and couldnt wait to get to the end.
